The few make it worth the effort. You’ll just have to trust me on this. I get PM’s. Difficult as it may be to fathom, hard as it may be to swallow, there are other people with other points of view, people who don’t care all that much for being preached at, but neither do they appreciate snotty comments like yours, so they keep quiet. Not me. So snark away. Take it as a badge of honor, I do.
New Santana Album "Africa Speaks"
Santana has a new album out; since it's not quite jazz, and I'm not sure if it's Rock, I'll just throw it up for grabs and see who likes it.
Africa Speaks is inspired by music from the continent of Africa, and has been called a "unique fusion of rock, Latin and jazz". Many of the album's tracks were recorded in one take. The album features vocals from Spanish singer Buika.
Africa Speaks was released on June 7, 2019 by Concord Records and Suretone Records, but this is the first time I've seen it on "you-tube"
Since it has been hard for me to find anything by Santana that I didn't like, I'll refrain from expressing my biased opinion.

Back on track ... I love Latin music. It’s full of soul. I started a thread titled "Do you like Mexican music," and was taken to task by a few small thinkers claiming that I was being "racist." The fact is, I’ve been deep into the Hispanic culture for a long time. My children are Hispanic. The music is fantastic, and I have a lot of it. On the Arturo O’Farrill albums ... As a result of Wolfie’s above post, I checked them out on Spotify. The ballads on the "In These Shoes" album are really good and the vocalist is quite nice as well. The band kind of reminds me of Willie Bobo’s orchestra. Not my cup of tea really. I much prefer the small Mexican groups. Mariachi is quite nice too. Check this out ... one of my all-time favorites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRp5vIJ_-ek Frank |
